Considering only 30% of the people in this survey from ages 18-34 are working full time, i’m going to go ahead and say this isn’t an accurate representation of independent young adults.

26% are in school and 16% are unemployed for a total of 42% not really making money / are using loans for housing or are living at home.

28% are working part time and are unlikely to be living on their own - it’s rare to find a part time gig that can afford housing.

So 22% think housing is the highest cost issue… and only 30% are employed full time… sounds about right to me! I’m guessing it’s not 30% because those 8% got mortgages during the 4% or lower interest rate era.

That isn’t how it works though. Nobody is collecting billions in wages. They receive stock which isn’t counted as taxable income until sold.

Water is wet and this is just beating a dead horse. I’ve seen this same topic covered again and again and again.

Isn’t there anything more relevant to talk about? isn’t this supposed to be an election year?

This asshole is just exercising his options to take money from the same moderators that were up in arms over his changes last year. Make no mistake, this is Spez’s revenge.

I really hope this whole thing backfires on reddit, but I think the reality is that it will further enshittify until it’s profitable, and it’s already so big it’s unlikely to fail.

Lemmy just isn’t a replacement and I think the nature of lemmy will stop it from ever being one unless someone throws godlike resources at one giant instance that federates with basically nobody.

I cancelled 6 months ago. It just ran out yesterday.

Now I have to put $35 of physical items in my cart for free shipping. Oh no! what ever will I do!?
